RE: Measurement of Light Quality and Color Temperature
Great article! Very thorough I just had a question about lighting and growing. The suns color graph has high intensity across the entire spectrum but an incandescent is only intense near red. Would they be ideal for growing plants indoors? I have heard of LEDs being used but also hear the intensity is not high enough. What do you think?
Incandescent lights are not a good choice for growing plants, because they do not provide enough of the three main components of light that plants need. Plants require light that is of sufficient quality, adequate duration and has the necessary intensity but when combined with Fluorescent lights, it'll will allow indoor plants to bloom.
Thanks for dropping by.
